Solution

Acute diseases are those diseases that come on abruptly and run a short, severe course, while chronic diseases last for a prolonged time and may come and go. An acute disease requires immediate medical attention due to life-threatening possibilities. Types of acute diseases include organ failure, breathing difficulties, rapid-spreading infections, and tissue death, or necrosis.
